Clay Klimt
There's something inherently lonely about what I've been attracted to lately. Without going into psychological overdrive, I've simply noticed a quiet, more distant aesthetic towards the things I've felt compelled to shoot. The faces on billboards, the strange textures on walls, the random folks in bars or in the street are common themes for me but they are more distant, not engaged, more spectacle than subject. They are not aware. I don't really feel the need to engage. This shot is strangely reminiscent and as two dimensional as Klimt's "Der Kuss" I just saw.
Whatever the case, I've been trundling along and am now in rainy Budapest. My camera has been in my pocket and used sparingly. I had a lovely camera-free moment last night as the sound of horse-hooves echoed around a magnificent Baroque dome that was part of some Austrian palace. For a moment I was transported to another time or at least a movie set for Mozart. I thought about whipping out the video camera but let it wash over me unmediated.
Make pictures, sometimes.

But that chick is a little thick in the crapper.
That's fuuny but I'm not at liberty to idealize.
Budapest sounds great. I just saw a PBS special on the causes of World War I; many of the factors that started that first great world war still continue to tear us apart and fuel current conflicts.
The image is amazingly powerful. I look forward to seeing more.
I love this picture. It's gritty and voyeuristic but mesmorizing and beautiful all at the same time.
Lovely intimate image. It almost has a captured by hidden (CCTV) camera look about it. great style.
Hi,
I found the best website for searching free images from flickr. Besides usual search by tags, you can search images by color and similarity. The similarity search is really amazing. Please check this link rotavacx.com
